Who can resist warm caramel and pecans? This recipe smells wonderful as the ingredients start coming together while cooking. It is a great recipe for the holidays if you like to gift your friends and family with homemade goodies. Purchase wonderful little candy boxes at the craft stores and really make a nice presentation.
(If there are many left!)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup pecans
Combine the sugar and milk and cook slowly in a heavy pot over a low flame until it reaches the soft ball stage (238 degrees on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat and add the butter, vanilla and pecans. Beat mixture with a wooden spoon until it is smooth and creamy. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. If the candy does not harden within 10 minutes, it may be cooked some more.
Yield: Approximately one dozen.
